Quote: Mark_P1973 "I think the challenge is finding props at the right price. I've been commenting on the Leeds forum too, and they reckon they need 3-4 props with Oledski, and seem happy to get rid of the rest, maybe keep 1 of them as 6th choice
so if you and Leeds are both in the market for props, and there aint many around, then its a good time to be one, as its likely they'll be getting decent money thrown at them
i know many fans including our own were laughing last year, when we signed a prop every week but it has proven to have been very shrewd business so far, as we've seen out injuries and suspensions and been competitive most weeks, and we've got 2 project signings in Eseh and Chan to add to our rotation, hopefully after a good pre-season'"
Beyond props, it feels like a few teams need plenty of players yet in various positions. Leeds and Huddersfield have new coaches and will want to do things. Hull, Leigh and Cas still have to bring players in and then we could have a new side in the league. Saints are also finalising their squad by the looks if it. It's probably a result of the IMG gradings in some cases and it's a world away from previous years when it felt like teams squads for the following year were all sorted come August/September in the current season. It'll be an interesting few months and is good for the game in a way as it can be a long off season with no news.
In terms of Wigan, we can sit back and watch it all unfold and you never know, an opportunity may open up somewhere if the club thinks it's worthwhile. A second rower is the only position that feels like we could do with an addition.
